Buckle on your verb belt because it’s time for "Belt of Verbs": a couple of
\nkicky, kooky verbs for filling up the empty pouch. <\/p>\n

1. From this ESPN headline: decisions<\/i>
\n
\nFormer WBC Ortiz decisions Garcia<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m not much for
\n
\nboxing<\/a> (anything that reminds me of enduring punishing blows to my head, no
\nthank you), but "decisions," the lexicon tells me, has been around for quite
\nsome time. It’s what one winning boxer does to a losing boxer without a
\nknockout. Improper usage: "I decisioned to have an A&W Root Beer with
\nlunch." Unless you’re a boxer. Then you can say "decisioned"
\nwhenever you please. <\/p>\n

2. From a book I’ve been reading: multiplexed<\/i>
\n"Two kinds of apprehension are mutliplexed together." <\/p>\n

I guess this means something like giving off many complex and layered signals
\nall at once: an entangled conduction that allows for (even anticipates) loss. So it’s in the realm
\nof the intelligible that comes just before noise. Not to be mistaken for
\nthe many-screened movie theater or the manufacturer of
\nfoam planes<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
